Pakistan’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May 2026 is expected to rise to 11.0–11.5% year-on-year, compared to 10.89% in April 2026 and 3.46% in May 2025. This would mark the highest monthly inflation reading in the past 23 months.

On a month-on-month basis, inflation is projected at 0.07%, mainly driven by a 1.2% increase in food prices. Key contributors include wheat flour (+9.47%), wheat (+5.52%), and potatoes (+5.24%), while prices of tomatoes (-28%) and onions (-13%) are expected to decline, partially balancing the increase.

Do you think rising food inflation will continue to affect household budgets in Pakistan?

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has introduced a new incentive system to speed up online degree verification across universities in Pakistan. Under the revised digital attestation framework, universities will receive Rs. 500 per document for verification within 24 hours, Rs. 300 for 48 hours, and Rs. 100 for 72 hours or later.

HEC Chairman Niaz Ahmad Akhtar stated that the initiative aims to make the attestation process fully digital, transparent, and more efficient, reducing the need for physical visits and courier services. Students can now submit requests online, with e-certificates issued digitally.

Do you think this new digital system will truly reduce delays in degree verification?

WhatsApp has introduced a new “incognito chats” feature for conversations with Meta AI, allowing users to engage in private discussions that are not stored or accessible later by either the user or the company. Once activated, chat history disappears after use, offering greater privacy for sensitive topics such as health, relationships, and finances.

Meta says the system is different from end-to-end encryption but still provides enhanced privacy protection. The feature currently supports text-only AI chats, and while it has been praised for improving user privacy, experts have raised concerns about accountability in case of harmful AI responses.

Do you think AI chat privacy features like this are a good step forward or a potential risk?
